What do you think of the current animal print trend?

[Abigail098]

Do you think animal print is so ubiquitous at the moment that it looks really clichéd? Or not?!

I have a pair of black & grey leopard print jeans, a knee length leopard print coat and some leopard print flats, bought them all last year. I always pair both with block neutrals and never ever wear them together!

I follow someone on IG who is animal print obsessed and dresses her and her DD in animal print all the time which is too much for me. But a couple of prints here and there are fine.

@Runmybathforme and @Screamqueenz
I’m very (bleach) blonde and I wear leopard print On my bottom half, but never traditionally glammed up for the bet lynch reason. Since I read that you should wear it as a neutral and can match any colour I’ve been having much more fun with it. I should also add I’d never wear it with heals, it’s always trainers or DMs.

Maybe it could be teamed with a Wolef jumper 😁

@amrapalli oooh affordable too thank you

Just leaving this here.

I think Bet Lynch disappeared from Corrie about 20 years ago, or more! No one these days looks like her! Animal prints look good as long as they are one piece at a time. So I have a leopard print cashmere jumper. Also a leopard print shirt. They do go with black and camel well. I quite like the green and grey versions of leopard print too. I don’t think I’ll get a leopard print coat, but 24 year old DD has one. She doesn’t look remotely like Bet Lynch!!!!

I am dyed blonde and have a leopard print jumpsuit that I sometimes wear with a really bright magenta scarf.

Totally bet lynch, I'm embracing it.

I really dislike animal prints except on animals. Actually that’s not true DC had some snow leopard slippers that were quite nice.

I have a full zoo in my wardrobe! Dresses, skirts, tops, handbags and boots in leopard, tiger, zebra, and snake prints. Oh, and scarves of course. I saw something in giraffe print too the other day....

Needless to say I dont wear them all at the same time, but i bloody love animal print!

I was about to buy a skirt the other day but DSis told me its become too mainstream now to be fashionable and that I'd look like Kat Slater. So I resisted the urge to buy

I dont really think animal print is a current trend. It's one of those styles that never really goes away. I guess I'd think of it as a permanent trend. When it's done in moderation, I love it, especially with accessories. It's a great way to break up a block of colour, to create that one 'talking point' part of your outfit.

Titania is that a Indoor Scarf ?

I hadn't thought of snake except shoes .

Still love it! I don't care if it is mainstream at the moment

I think the idea that it doesn't go out of style is not really true, whenever something that would otherwise be a 'basic' becomes very 'in fashion', it then has the potential to go 'out of fashion' shortly afterwards.

See the thread about stripes - were just one of those things most woman had in their wardrobe, a stripy top of some sort. Then a couple of springs back suddenly everyone was wearing stripes - with skinny jeans and ballet flats. Now all 3 of those things need to be styled carefully (and not together) to avoid looking dated.

Animal print will be the new stripe. OK to wear, but just will look a bit "pulled this from the wardrobe without thinking about it" rather than "I've made an effort".

What I'm trying to say, buy the jumper if you are happy to wear it this winter, then next year not really wear it much. If it's expensive, I wouldn't bother.

@70isaLimitNotaTarget have I missed something? Are we not supposed to be wearing scarves indoors? There is a line in midsummer night's dream about a snakeskin big enough to wrap a fairy in, so I, Titania, wrap myself in my lovely scarf indoors.

Ha! There was a whole mahoosive thread about it

@TitaniaQueenOfTheFairies Gorgeous scarf!! Thanks for sharing! (Sadly now out of stock!)

Love it

Is a neutral

Seen a lovely zebra print sweater in H&M

How can you say leopard print is a 'current trend' - were you not around for The Mumsnet Scarf?

Snakes terrify me so I cannot even touch a thing in that print.

@PeterRouseTheFleshofMankind I’m intrigued - what was The Mumsnet Scarf?!

I have these (hopefully they will post) and I adore them

Leopard

The Mumsnet Scarf circa 2011.

It was about 4 quid from ebay, and also came in purple and grey. I've still got mine!

Nice scarf! And @CaptainPovey, those shoes are lovely!
